The point of my response was that fear mongering and rapid information spread might be a reason that we haven't seen that many deaths. The whole point is to minimize how many more deaths there are, and it's the potential for disruption and death that matters right now, not the existing number of deaths except as indicators of what the extent of the risk might be
As crude as it sounds there haven’t been that many deaths. Yes this seems to have outbreaks in waves but that’s about the only scary part.
We should be alert but not anxious!
